The CAM ROLL FLANGE UNIT would replace a typical flange bearing on slower speed shaft machinery. Particularly, steel shot abrasive throwing equipment. The unit would provide bearing support for media screws and media elevator shafting. The advantage is that the CAM ROLL FLANGE UNIT may be restored while on the machine by replacing individual cam rolls running on a hardened, two-piece shaft race. This eliminates the need to remove gear reducers, pulleys, sprockets, motors, and

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, back injuries account for one of every five injuries and illnesses in the workplace. Eighty percent of these injuries occur to the lower back and are associated with manual materials handling. Small shops and businesses are largely affected by this. They typically use multiple workers to manually lift heavy objects; this saves money by not purchasing a material handling device, but is straining on workers.

ROBOT ACTUATOR
CHALLENGE:
Design an actuator for use on two-legged walking robots that can survive a trip, fall or tumble down the stairs without major damage to the actuators. The solution uses a hydraulic cylinder and piston with dual rods. The invention is the composite piston, which includes a hydraulic pump, electric motor and relief valves and is referred to as the pumping piston.
DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN:

This device is based on the fact that water is a polar molecule, and thus can be manipulated and moved by an electric field. A popular classroom demonstration is to place an electrostatically charged rod near a falling stream of water and watch the stream being deflected toward the charged rod. This device uses the same principle. A stream of water is allowed to run down the outer surface of a hollow nonconducting cylinder. The

My idea is composed of a group of different technologies that together may point the way to reach the realization of this dream. All these technologies are on the market and are industry proven except one. Laser

The purpose of this design is to replace the current valve arrangement on today's internal combustion engines with one that is more efficient. Current designs employ a rocker arm, spring, and valve-stem to create the up-and-down motion of the intake and exhaust valves, and as a result, there is a great deal of "hammering" of the valves on the cylinder head. This new design is called the "ball" valve, and it employs a rolling motion

Generally, electricians work this out using tester. But, in microprocessor based applications, this method would not serve to automatically detect the continuity of electric lines and accordingly give an output.
